1And the word of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) came unto me, saying, 2Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], prophesy, and say unto them, Thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER) unto the shepherds; Woe [be] to the shepherds of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks? 3You^2f eat the fat, and you^2f clothe you with the wool, you^2f kill them that are fed: [but] you^2f feed not the flock. 4The diseased have you^2f not strengthened, neither have you^2f healed that which was sick, neither have you^2f bound up [that which was] broken, neither have you^2f brought again that which was driven away, neither have you^2f sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have you^2f ruled them. 5And they were scattered, because [there is] no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered. 6My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yes, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek [after them].

7Therefore, you^2f shepherds, hear the word of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); 8[As] I live, says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER), surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because [there was] no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock; 9Therefore, O you^2f shepherds, hear the word of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); 10Thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER); Behold, I [am] against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves anymore; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.

11For thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER); Behold, I, [even] I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. 12As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep [that are] scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. 13And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country. 14I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and [in] a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]. 15I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER). 16I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up [that which was] broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.

17And [as for] you, O my flock, thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER); Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats. 18[Seem it] a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but you^2f must trample down with your feet the residue (part that remains, the rest) of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but you^2f must foul the residue (part that remains, the rest) with your feet? 19And [as for] my flock, they eat that which you^2f have trampled with your feet; and they drink that which you^2f have fouled with your feet.

20Therefore thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER) unto them; Behold, I, [even] I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle. 21Because you^2f have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till you^2f have scattered them abroad; 22Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

23And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, [even] my servant David [beloved]; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. 24And I the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will be their God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and my servant David [beloved] a prince among them; I the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) have spoken [it].

25And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. 26And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing. 27And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I [am] the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them. 28And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make [them] afraid. 29And I will raise up for them a plant of renown (great reputation; being well-known), and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more. 30Thus shall they know that I the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) their God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [am] with them, and [that] they, [even] the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], [are] my people, says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER). 31And you^2f my flock, the flock of my pasture, [are] men, [and] I [am] your God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER).
